China's New Leaders Try to Change Tack (washingtonpost.com)
by Rattle at 5:23 pm EST, Mar 15, 2003

] Wen Jiabao spent Chinese New Year's Eve in a coal mine
] sharing dumplings with miners. Hu Jintao spent the night
] shivering with herders in Inner Mongolia.
]
] There was a dual message: We care, and we're different
] from Jiang Zemin, the departing Chinese leader.
]
] Hu became China's president today, appointed by the
] rubber-stamp legislature. Wen will become premier on
] Sunday in the smoothest transfer of power in Communist
] China's 54-year history. But their crowning glory will be
] overshadowed by China's current president, Jiang, who
] today held onto his post as head of the army,
] guaranteeing him continued influence in Beijing.

China has to urbanize about a billion people.. These are the guys that are going to lead that.
